Job Role: Research Scientist
The candidate will be expected to work with scientists to understand project requirements and to provide advice and guidance on bioinformatics solutions. As a result, he or she must possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills. The candidate may also work with programming staff in designing and implementing larger scale solutions for specific projects. BISR projects will involve the analysis of microarray and RNA-Seq gene expression data, including differential expression analysis, pathway enrichment analysis, computational methods for supervised and unsupervised learning, as well as integrative approaches utilizing systems biology methods. CGC projects will involve improving and maintaining a robust and highly automated computational pipeline for analyzing RNA-Seq and genome sequencing data; improving quality control procedures and interpreting quality control metrics for optimizing high-throughput sequencing experiments; and leading data analysis in strategic collaborations, including new technology development and human disease studies.

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). EMBL is seeking a highly motivated bioinformatics engineer to work in the group of Prof. Matthias Hentze. The research focuses on the discovery of novel RNA-binding proteins and identifying their role in health and disease. The group uses new next-generation sequencing and mass-spectrometry-based technologies to identify and functionally characterize RNA-binding protein targets. The successful applicant will be involved in the computational analysis and interpretation of these data. She/he will create workflows based on existing tools and further develop analysis methodologies in order to translate novel data types into biological discoveries. [More]
We are looking for a computational scientist to join the Proteomic Core Facility at EMBL Heidelberg. The Proteomic Core Facility provides scientific support for scientists at EMBL-Heidelberg and its outstations, in the areas of proteomics and structural biology. We offer services in the characterization of proteins and peptides by mass spectrometry, for which we have a range of mass spectrometers and nano-flow liquid chromatography systems. This results in generation of large scale datasets that need to be processed in a high-quality, reproducible, and timely manner. The successful candidate will establish and maintain an analysis pipeline for diverse proteomics workflows at the EMBL proteomics core facility. This will involve establishing file handling workflows, automatic generation and archiving of results, algorithmic implementation/development, and developing bioinformatics solutions for novel proteomics strategies.
